real world its the likes of the so called top teams are in fantasy world.fellas are that bit more loyal out in the country.they think they can pick up the phone and everyone comes running but thank god its only the players in and around the city that jump from team to team when they are persuaded by managers to join them.and by the way it wasnt actualy the same when i was playing what we used to called these players was glory hunters.

I'd call it ambition. You can't blame a player for joining a team that's in a better place to win trophies than his current team. If your a decent player in an average team, its only natural you'll want to test yourself against the best and play with the best.

Of course some players prefer playing with friends and stay with there local teams because of that but you can't criticise a player for leaving for a better team. After all, this is junior soccer, a team doesn't "own" a player so at the end of the day its free game.

How many clubs did you play for ?, all the top clubs are in the real world boro,pike,balla,regional have phoned a few of our players and i can tell you jason has phoned a few players from other clubs thats the way it works its up to the player if he wants to go or stay, and when you talk about loyal theres a player that stayed loyal for 25yrs with a club,he was good enough to play with any prem side in limerick and didnt,he also played oscar trainer for a few years he got a serious injury a long term injury the club told him hes services were no longer needed thats the thanks he got .

never said we owned any player.have a look around you most lads going to different teams end up on bench.also our local and loyal lads know that we are still building and hopefully will be challenging shortly for honours.most teams now are like most countrys full of foreign nationals.

Thats where you lack ambition. If every club in Limerick started just the players that have come through their schoolboy ranks we'd probably never see another provincial or national in Limerick again.

our 17s got to fai final and minors should have with fully fledged locals playing for both teams.so in terms of having no ambition if our players are not tapped we will do well in coming years

You have to remember alot of these clubs have no income so to say clubs are paying players out of their own pockets in this climate is ludicrous. So to say carew are offering 1A players money to play in the premier is a joke. If they were any good theyd be playing premier already.

what a load bull............are you trying to tell us that there isn't ONE junior player in town getting paid (besides expenses??)

seriously? you think pike are doing this for the love of the game? don't be so naive, pike rovers only do things to suit themselves
